Hands-on with the LG Optimus F5

We've just got our hands on the LG Optimus F5. It's a budget smartphone with 4G connectivity and one of the first 4G devices to be sold on prepaid. It's actually the first 4G prepaid smartphone sold in Australia by Optus. Let's take a look!

The LG Optimus F5 Australian retail box. There's no carrier branding on this one, aside from "Opt" printed on the side label denoting this is an Optus handset. It's unlocked though, so it will work on any Australian network including Telstra and Vodafone. Do note though that the phone does not support the 850MHz network band, which is used by both Telstra (Next G) and Vodafone.
